Writing Analysis in CHUNKS!
When you analyze a text, an effective way to structure your writing is to use what is called "chunks" of thought. This means that for every text detail, you include two sentences that specifically explain why that detail is important and why the author used it. By writing this way, you make sure to thoroughly explain your thinking and dig down to the deeper meaning of the text.
Detail- From the TEXT! Use signal phrases and embedded quotations. CM1- Explain why the detail is significant, important, etc… CM2- How does the detail work to achieve the author’s purpose? Why did the author use it?
Let's work on writing a chunk together with a partner. Use your charts for "Invictus" to put together a chunk.
